Captain permissions in team events
Captain permissions let team captains manage their own lineup and, if enabled, enter scores for their team's matches. Use these settings to give captains match-day flexibility without giving them access to event administration.
Captain permissions depend on the settings in Configure team scoring. Captains can only edit lineups when Lock lineup is off, and they can only enter scores when captain scoring is enabled.
What captains can do
View their team's lineup at any time.
Edit their team's lineup when Lock lineup is off.
Enter scores for their team's matches when Allow captains to enter scores is on.
Edit team lineups
Captains reach the lineup editor two ways: an Edit My Lineup button on the Matches tab, which opens their own team directly, and their team tab in the Player Hub. Both open the same editor, where they assign players to each line and choose whether the lineup applies to one round or all incomplete matches.
A captain only sees either entry point once they have claimed their registration, which links the roster spot to their account. For that step and for assigning captains, see Assign and change team captains.
For the host workflow, see Edit team lineups by round.
When lineup editing is locked
If the host turns on Lock lineup, captains can still view the lineup but cannot change it. The lineup view shows a lock icon and a message that lineup editing has been locked by the tournament administrator.
Hosts can turn the setting off at any time to allow captain edits again.
What captains see of other teams
By default lineups are open, so a captain can see every other team's lineup. Turning on lineup hiding redacts the opposing side while leaving a captain's own lineup visible to them, and completed matches always show both sides. To run blind weekly submissions, see Hide or show lineups for team events.
Enter scores
When captain scoring is enabled, captains can submit scores for matches involving their own team. The score uses the same validation as admin-entered scores.
For the full scoring flow, see Score team matches.
What captains cannot do
